Knight's Quilt Shop

Punctuated by groves of apple and birch trees, the drive to Knight’s Quilt Shop in Cape Neddick, Maine, is enticing and beautiful. A meandering brook cuts across the property, making it striking. “People say the view is inspiring,” Michelle Knight says.

Machine-quilted scroll designs in the inner border and in the white tone-on-tone triangles in each block and middle border provide added detail. Curved echo-quilting accents the light purple batik triangles, while a flowing leaf design runs through the outer border.

Michelle is designing an addition for her shop and working on a book about small business ownership. “Do everything possible to have the best team, a positive aura, and go out of your way for every customer,” she says.
